A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 15% off." If Monty buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $11, how much will he pay for both shirts?

56% Answer Correctly
$15.95
$20.35
$1.65
$13.75

Solution

By buying two shirts, Monty will save $11 x \( \frac{15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$11 x 15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$165}{100} \) = $1.65 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$11.00 + ($11.00 - $1.65)
$11.00 + $9.35
$20.35

What is 4\( \sqrt{3} \) x 4\( \sqrt{5} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
16\( \sqrt{15} \)
16\( \sqrt{8} \)
8\( \sqrt{15} \)
8\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:

4\( \sqrt{3} \) x 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
(4 x 4)\( \sqrt{3 \times 5} \)
16\( \sqrt{15} \)
